Round Trip Death Podcast - NDE

<p><strong>She died for 45 minutes... and saw nothing but darkness. So why did it feel like Heaven?</strong></p><p>In this episode, Claudia Edge recounts the most harrowing night of her life — bleeding out from a placental rupture while giving birth to her fifth child, as doctors raced to save her baby while her own heart stopped. </p><p>What followed wasn't the typical tunnel-of-light NDE. Instead, Claudia floated through the hospital watching her own resuscitation, then crossed into an infinite, pitch-black space she insists wasn't a void — it was <em>absolute love</em>, a feeling so complete she calls it being "swaddled" by the universe. </p><p>No tunnel, no relatives waiting for her — just overwhelming peace, until a nurse's voice pulled her back.</p><p>Claudia also shares things she's never discussed publicly: encounters with benevolent extraterrestrials, ongoing afterlife communication with her late sister and mother, "pre-life planning" of our hardest struggles, and an intimate vision of Jesus as a playful big brother rather than a figure to worship. </p><p>Skeptic or seeker, this is one of the most unconventional NDE stories we've featured — and barely scratches the surface of her new book.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/i_3m8sL6rTM">VIDEO VERSION</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://RoundTripDeath.com">RoundTripDeath.com</a></p><p>Donate to this podcast: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/">https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://claudiaedge.com/">https://claudiaedge.com/</a> </p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Dying-SPIRIT-SCHOOL-Curriculum-Teachers/dp/0999463551/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DL6RK10WBYN2&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HSVYyuBr1b-GJo0Ckg4qfO1qdQypHIFWHemFAFXg8rjGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.uUdTEwKLHIB-mwrhUYIYZ5TiO9Qfaf44LvaO43DpbiY&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=dying%2Bto%2Bgo%2Bto%2Bspirit%2Bschool&amp;qid=1782757102&amp;sprefix=dying%2Bto%2Bgo%2Bto%2Bspirit%2Bschool%2Caps%2C276&amp;sr=8-1#">https://www.amazon.com/Dying-SPIRIT-SCHOOL-Curriculum-Teachers/dp/0999463551/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DL6RK10WBYN2&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HSVYyuBr1b-GJo0Ckg4qfO1qdQypHIFWHemFAFXg8rjGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.uUdTEwKLHIB-mwrhUYIYZ5TiO9Qfaf44LvaO43DpbiY&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=dying%2Bto%2Bgo%2Bto%2Bspirit%2Bschool&amp;qid=1782757102&amp;sprefix=dying%2Bto%2Bgo%2Bto%2Bspirit%2Bschool%2Caps%2C276&amp;sr=8-1#</a></p>

<p>At age four, Scarlett Heinbuch drowned in a pool—and watched her own body sink while her spirit hovered nearby in a state of overwhelming love. This NDE (Near Death Experience) changed her, and the trajectory of her life.</p><p>________________________</p><p>Get <strong>15% off OneSkin</strong> with code <strong>ROUNDTRIP</strong></p><p>at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.oneskin.co/ROUNDTRIP">https://www.oneskin.co/ROUNDTRIP</a></p><p>#oneskinpod #sponsored</p><p>__________________________</p><p>During her NDE Experience, she chose to come back for her mother's sake, but the door between worlds never fully closed, leaving her with a lifetime of precognitive dreams, remote viewing, and unexplained phenomena she spent decades researching just to feel sane.</p><p>Then in 2005, a stranger asked her to pray over her dying son, David, who was comatose with destroyed kidneys and a grim prognosis. Scarlett experienced a shared near-death experience (SNDE) with him—recognizing his soul in a field of light—then later saw towering blue "healing beings" performing what looked like a holographic kidney transplant at his bedside. David's kidneys, supposedly damaged beyond repair, fully recovered. </p><p>The two strangers married a year later, and Scarlett now researches others who've encountered the same mysterious blue figures.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/DPH2W29D2nE">VIDEO VERSION</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://RoundTripDeath.com">RoundTripDeath.com</a></p><p>Donate to this podcast: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/">https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/</a></p><p>OneSkin Study: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38400612/">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38400612/</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://scarlettheinbuch.com/">https://scarlettheinbuch.com/</a></p><p>"We Met On the Other Side" <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/We-Met-Other-Side-Story/dp/B0C47YVWDK/">https://www.amazon.com/We-Met-Other-Side-Story/dp/B0C47YVWDK/</a></p>

<p>In this powerful episode, host Eric Bennett welcomes Lynn Arches-Rappaport, a Massachusetts teacher and grandmother, who shares her Near Death Experience (NDE) from nearly 50 years ago. </p><p>While surfing in Puerto Rico, Lynn was caught in a brutal set of waves, slammed against a reef covered in sea urchins, and began drowning. At the moment she feared she wouldn't survive, she was pulled out of her body. </p><p>___________________</p><p>Birch Natural Mattresses</p><p>Podcast Listeners Receive 20% - 30% OFF</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://birchliving.com/lp/birchpartner/partner?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=aud&amp;utm_campaign=roundtrip">BirchLiving.com/Roundtrip</a></p><p>____________________</p><p>Her NDE included a vivid life review, a tunnel with a shadowy being, a welcoming group of entities, and the presence of both her deceased father, Jesus, and God, all bathed in an overwhelming sense of pure love and warmth unlike anything she had known on earth. </p><p>Lynn describes her Near Death Experience as "more real than real" — a state of unconditional love so complete that it transformed her understanding of life, death, and her difficult childhood. </p><p>She returned from her NDE with a mission to share her story and has since written a memoir, <em>Entangled</em>. Lynn also discusses the life lessons she believes souls choose before birth, and why she no longer fears death — viewing it instead as a homecoming to a place of permanent, boundless love. </p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/4LRR56d5pts"><strong>Video Version of This Episode</strong></a></p><p></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://RoundTripDeath.com">RoundTripDeath.com</a></p><p>Donate to this podcast: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/">https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/</a></p><p></p><p>Lynn: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.lynnarchesauthor.com/">https://www.lynnarchesauthor.com/</a></p>

<p>*Warning: Contains Some Discussion of Abuse</p><p>Not all NDEs come from happy places. When Renee Christine Martine was five years old, her father — a former member of the White Fence Gang hiding from the Mexican mafia behind a Jehovah's Witness conversion — came home in a rage and sent a tent pole into her face.</p><p>Thirty-one stitches, a 45-minute drive bleeding out in a station wagon, and something else: floating above the farm looking down, a mysterious woman no one else could see, and absolute love and peace on the other side of it all.</p><p>She has no paper that says she died. She doesn't need one for us to know it was a near death experience (NDE). What she came back with — apparitions appearing in her bedroom, premonitions that spooked her parents, a ghost in a pea coat outside her window at 16, and a lifelong magnetism for paranormal phenomena — made it pretty clear something had shifted permanently.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/iyqTTtyS2QQ">Video Version of This Episode</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://RoundTripDeath.com">RoundTripDeath.com</a></p><p>Donate to this podcast: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/">https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/</a></p><p>Renee: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://reneemartine.com/">https://reneemartine.com/</a></p>

<p>Michael Florman died eight times. </p><p>A cardiac arrest on the way to work launched him into one of the most vivid NDE experiences ever described — leaving his body, floating above paramedics, racing through a glowing valley, and entering a dark, peaceful void filled with unconditional love and acceptance. </p><p>His near death experience even included a life review where he felt the emotional impact of his actions on others, all before being violently shocked back to life mid-NDE.</p><p>But coming back wasn't easy. Heightened empathy, memory loss, and years of depression followed as Michael struggled to find meaning in ordinary life after experiencing something extraordinary. </p><p>His message to anyone fearing death? You are not your body — you're the energy inside it, and that energy never dies. A must-listen episode.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/z45PMSQT0XU">Video Version of This Episode</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://RoundTripDeath.com">RoundTripDeath.com</a></p><p>Donate to this podcast: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/">https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/</a></p><p>Michael: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://michaelflorman.com/">https://michaelflorman.com/</a></p>
